Unable to disable read-only mode on Free Plan

Hi everyone,

I’m on the Free Plan and my site keeps getting forced back into read-only mode. When I click “Disable Read-Only” in Admin > Backups, the button briefly switches to “Enable Read-Only” but reverts back on page reload, and the site stays in read-only mode.

Can anyone please tell me what’s causing this to for my site?

Thanks!

Hi there, were you getting emails that your site will become inactive due to inactivity? If so, you’ll need to email team@discourse.org to have the site reactivated before it’s deleted entirely.

If not, you were likely violating the terms of service and your site was manually deactivated and is not likely to return.
